Within the past 3 years, Google has taken aim at Microsoft and visa versa. Nearly all services and/or planned services have been countered by the other. Here is a current (as of this post) list comparing Microsoft and Google products:
Microsoft | |
---|---|
MSN Search | Google.com |
MS Office | StarOffice |
Hotmail | GMail |
MSN Toolbar | Google Toolbar |
Windows Desktop Search | Google Desktop |
Windows Live Messenger (MSN IM) | Google Talk |
Local.Live.Com | Local.Google.Com |
Virtual Earth | Google Earth |
MSN and Live.com | Personalized Google |
Office Live | Google Page Creator |
Windows Live Shopping | Froogle |
Vista/Live.com Gadgets | Google Dashboard Widgets for Mac |
Script# | Google GWT |
The two most recent are the and Nikhil Kothari’s Script#. I created a sample Google Pages site and for most GMail users (non-technical), it might work. However, there is almost no functionality.
The only thing that Microsoft has on Google (as far as products, not necessarily quality, etc) is the XBox and XBox Live.
